I disagree, no point in throwing money away, especially for a rider who averaged 5.68 (6.53) away from the NSS. Zagar isn't a superstar who can't command any fee he wants, so I'll give credit to Peterborough for now giving in to his demands.

Batchelor or Craig Cook have to be the best British based options if they can't find a top foreigner!

Batchelor too, will not be employed while Buster is in charge. Cook is to unreliable 

But if they can't afford Zagar they will have to eventually sign someone!

Every Peterborough fan already knew who Buster was when he took over. You'd seen the bargain teams put together at King's Lynn, why anyone would expect different at Peterborough is unbelievable & stupid. He'd saved you from early closure & won a title on a shoestring. 

MT has to take blame for making promises he couldn't deliver on. 

Buster works to a very strict budget & it's always been that way. Most outsider's would see what he's done in his short tenure as an excellent job. 

Us at King's Lynn have never seen a top flight title, Buster delivered one almost immediately, we should be the immensely bitter ones to be fair. 

That's true. "Holdergate" and his reaction was still fresh in the memory. You make it sound like it was our choice and we should be pleased with sustainable speedway and under achievement apart from one fluke year.

Zagar was offered exactly the same deal as Pedersen but wanted £100 a point more after agreeing initially

I’m curious. Are you one of many blaming Buster for not allowing Holder to ride for him after what he did?

Nope ...the only person I am blaming in my post is Palm Toft for his gutless 'performance' last week.

He'll do well to be at Lynn and BV at the same time.

Yep you are right.. but considering he only turned up in body and not mind last week that shouldn't be a problem

Have to pay it though because we don't have another option.

A decent guest is never guaranteed with the fixed race night situation, MPT scoring a blank on Monday should be enough encouragement to get back on the phone to Zagar imo.

Get ya hand in your pocket then.......

Not true.

Zagar said the offer sounded OK, but he would need to speak to his team to work out the exact costs of riding in the UK.

Zagar came back and gave his revised price.

It's far from acceptable for fans, & the teams dished out at King's Lynn too are far from acceptable but Chapman will work from his budget & not move. This guy is not for moving under any circumstances no matter the amount of moaning & pressure. It's either 'put up & shut up' or don't go with Buster.

R/R on Monday again folks.

I think it will be for the foreseeable. We will get another facility next week for may I reckon. Just like Plymouth basically did all last year !

If what you say is correct then I for one won't be lining his pockets with anymore of my well earned cash.

If he's not bothered, then I'm certainly not. Just a travesty that in our final season, Chapman has not considered the loyal supporters of this great club. We are going to the dogs led by a man who doesn't give a toss !

I don't think it's correct or fair to say that he's not bothered or doesn't give a toss, but as Daniel says he works to a strict budget and essentially he does things his way and won't be swayed.

I certainly don't blame him for not signing Zagar who took the p!ss and I sympathise over Pedersen who let the club down massively, BUT for many reasons a replacement needs signing ASAP, R/R and poor guests are no good for anybody.

What would be the costs of Chapman closing down the club immediately? 
 

With R/R for the number 1 Pboro will struggle to attract crowds to break even at home, and frankly are the kiss of death for their away matches - BV already reporting low ticket sales.

Danny King was being muted as the guest at BV

But if Pickering  misses Lynns match at home to Sheffield whats the bets on him riding for Lynn at reserve !! As his average fits with the 5% rule

But from King's point of view he will earn more by scoring far more at reserve for Lynn ,than the few points he will get at BV and its closer to his home

R/R already confirmed for Panthers.

There is a difference. Pedersen is demonstrably fit (or did I imagine his 18 point maximum for Grudziadz?)

whereas Kennett was (allegedly) injured.

And its quite possible King could of been switched to Lynn instead as well

In any case with or without King at BV it will most likely not be pretty

That would be the worst possible outcome and the end of the club. Whilst the club is still running the local planning policy covers them for the future in so much as a provision of a facility must be found if the stadium and track are to be developed.

If Buster reads this forum, I think your lucky he hasn’t turned the lights off already… He is trying to run 2 clubs on a budget, and I presume trying to not loose money in the process.
